Chapter 314 Not Special at All

Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions were on their way back. Shi Xiaoliu concluded: "Today's trip..."

He paused for a moment and said, "The rice soup in the vegetarian restaurant is delicious. This trip into the city is well worth it."

Xia Yu agreed with Shi Xiaoliu: "The rice cakes are delicious too. Let's pack a few more next time we come to eat."

Shi Zelan looked at the two of them and said, "Didn't you say that we would go to the teahouse for tea next time?"

"Next time, we should go to the city earlier so that we can have tea at the teahouse and also taste delicious food at the vegetarian restaurant."

Xia Yu immediately proposed a new suggestion, and Shi Xiaoliu agreed: "Yes, we must also learn to enjoy life."

As the three of them were walking back, there were many horse-drawn carriages on the official road at first, and they had to avoid them again and again.

Later, there were fewer carriages and pedestrians, so the three of them decided to go into a small road and put up invisibility talismans.

But they couldn't find a suitable path, so they could only move forward. When they were about to reach the exit of the path at the bottom of the valley, they finally found an opportunity.

There was a carriage parked by the official road, with only the driver sitting on it, and there was obviously no one on the side road.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two entered the path. Shi Zelan quickly drew invisibility talismans for Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, and also put an invisibility talisman on himself.

When they came out of the path, Shi Zelan whispered to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "We need to get back to the top of the mountain quickly. The invisibility talisman we drew this time won't be effective for long."

"I know. I should have already run ahead of you."

Shi Zelan heard Shi Xiaoliu's message and smiled: "I'll follow you, keep running."

Xia Yu reminded Shi Zelan: "We need to stay away from each other, so that the three of us won't collide with each other."

"Then I'll run faster. Once I reach the intersection, you guys can follow me."

Shi Xiaoliu passed the message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, and Shi Zelan slowed down her pace. She said to Xia Yu behind her, "I'm about to enter the small intersection."

"Okay, I'll slow down a bit."

When Shi Zelan walked towards the intersection, he naturally saw the soldiers guarding the intersection.

At this time, there were only two officers guarding the intersection, and they were discussing tomorrow's affairs.

"The boss said that he will come again tomorrow and go into the woods to take a look at the situation."

"Then should we go in and take a look at the situation tomorrow?"

"The boss won't arrange for us to follow him into the mountains, so forget it."

"It was so cold that I couldn't even fall asleep sitting by the fire."

"Don't fall asleep, it's too cold outside.

When tomorrow comes, we will find a place to have a good sleep for the day. ”

Shi Zelan had already entered the intersection at this time. She whispered to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, I'm at the intersection."

Xia Yu in the back sent a message to Shi Zelan: "Okay, go in with peace of mind, I'll follow you."

Shi Zelan went to the bottom of the valley, saw the traces on the ground, and then looked at the footprints on the river.

She told Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, "We can't come here to practice swordplay these two days."

Shi Xiaoliu had already reached the top of the canyon: "Come up, we are not in a hurry for one or two days."

Shi Zelan reached the top of the canyon, and Shi Xiaoliu told her, "There are other people on the mountain."

Shi Zelan was surprised: "Officers and soldiers?"

Shi Xiaoliu said again: "I will go back first. When we get back to the top of the mountain, I will break your invisibility talisman."

Shi Zelan explained the situation to Xia Yu through voice transmission, and she quickly returned to the top of the mountain from the back mountain.

Shi Xiaoliu had already cracked the invisibility talisman by this time. When he saw Shi Zelan, he whispered, "Someone tried to go up the mountain today."

Xia Yu quickly returned to the top of the mountain. He listened to Shi Xiaoliu's words and hurried to the edge of the mountain to look down.

"Some people have encountered the maze, but they didn't have the opportunity to enter the formation."

Xia Yu quickly turned from the back mountain to the front. He wanted to check the situation of the maze.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan stood on the side of the mountain and watched Xia Yu quickly deal with the formation. He then rearranged the illusion.

Shi Zelan admired him very much and said, "Such a smart person is willing to work hard on polishing the formation. I will spend more time on drawing talismans."

Shi Xiaoliu listened to her and said directly: "In the spring, you accompany me to dig more herbs."

"In the spring, Father Xia Yu and Uncle will come and bring us a lot of materials. We will just let the herbs on the mountain grow."

"His father and uncle are in trouble now. If spring can arrive in time, it will naturally be a good thing for everyone."

Shi Zelan understood what Shi Xiaoliu meant, and she said to him, "Don't be too frank in front of Xia Yu. He is still a simple child."

When Xia Yu reached the top of the mountain, he happened to hear Shi Zelan's words and immediately retorted: "You are a child, and you actually called me a child. Is this fair?"

Shi Zelan looked back at him and said, "Old people in the secular world say that young ladies are always more mature than young men. I am not wrong to call you a child."

Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan with her mouth open, and said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, why don't you take care of her?"

"Women and villains in this world should not be easily provoked. It's okay for us men to give them some ground."

"I forgot that you are her biological brother. You should naturally help your relatives instead of others at this time."

Shi Zelan released the thatched cottage and asked Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "Do you want to continue talking?"

Shi Xiaoliu waved his hand and placed the thatched hut next to Shi Zelan's thatched hut.

After Xia Yu arranged his residence, he looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan's thatched cottages and said, "Your hobbies are no different from those of the brothers in the Zhishi Hall."

"We learned this from our senior brother from Zhishitang. Don't you think thatched cottages are the most appealing to both the refined and the popular?"

"Xiao Liu, stop talking. You will definitely say that the literati in the secular world all highly appreciate the function of thatched houses, right?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan laughed at the same time. Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Xia Yu, I didn't know that the literati in the secular world also praised the thatched cottage."

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "I think thatched cottages are the best way to make outstanding scholars in the secular world realize the difficulties of life. They need to work harder to change some of the ideas that people hold on to."

Xia Yu sighed and said, "I won't argue with you about the thatched cottage. If you like it, you can use it."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at Xia Yu's residence and praised her insincerely: "Xia Yu, your residence is also very elegant."

"puff."

Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu in amazement, and then saw Shi Zelan covering her mouth and bending over with laughter.

He shook his head and said, "I can get along with you siblings and become best friends. I think I am quite capable."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, and Shi Zelan sighed: "Besides us brothers and sisters, you have many good friends. We are not special at all."
